I have never been comfortable with my body. Before I had met my FI, I had always been self conscious about my body, but once I met him, I kind of let myself go. I am not big, just a little on the heavier side. I am extremely nervous about dress shopping. I have no clue why. Is anyone else feeling/felt this way??

I felt that way when I started looking, but when I started putting them on I realized I was ok and actually looked good lol

I am sure my nervousness will subside once I start getting in to them. I've looked online for dresses, but that's as far as I got. Lol.

Just make sure you go to a place that has plus-sized samples, otherwise if you are not feeling comfortable with yourself it will make you feel a lot worse. I am pretty comfortable with my body so when the sample size was stuck around my boobs and the consultant was trying to pry it off I was laughing, but Im sure everyone wouldnt react that way. Try Davids Bridal, Alfred Angelo they have alot of plus-size samples to give you an idea of what you like, but once you find the dress you are going to be amazed at how slimming they are...

since your wedding isnt until ocotber 2011 - you have tons of time!

if you arent comfy now - you have time to drop some weight before you hit up the bridal salons =)

For sure. I kind love that my date is so far away, because I can do all this planning and dieting [ew! I have issues with] lol!

I was spastic w/trying on the dress. Be sure to go to many different places. i went to one, they didnt have a single dress in my size and I freaked.

Also don't let the sizes discourage you.  When my street size wouldn't fit me I was like SAY WHAT!!!!???  I felt so fat lol.. but then I realized they all just run so small compared to everyday clothing.
